A quick and easy creamy overnight oats recipe featuring peaches, Greek yogurt, and a crunchy honey almond topping. Perfect for a wholesome, flavorful breakfast that’s ready after chilling overnight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese (120g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g), plain or vanilla
  • ¾ cup milk (180ml), any kind (dairy or almond milk)
  • 1 cup sliced peaches, fresh or canned (drained)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup chopped almonds, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Toast the almonds: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add chopped almonds and stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese, and ½ cup Greek yogurt. Stir gently to blend.
  3. Add liquids and flavor: Pour in ¾ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add ¼ teaspoon cinnamon if using and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Stir until well combined. The mixture should be creamy but not runny.
  4. Fold in peaches: Add 1 cup sliced peaches (fresh or drained canned) to the oat mixture. Gently fold to distribute fruit without breaking it up too much.
  5. Sweeten: Drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the mixture and give a light stir to incorporate.
  6. Portion and chill: Transfer the mixture into 2-3 mason jars or airtight containers. Seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Serve with topping: When ready to eat, top each jar with the toasted almonds and an extra drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk and stir to loosen. For warmer peaches, microwave the jar for 20-30 seconds before serving. Toast almonds fresh for best aroma and crunch. Vanilla extract is essential for flavor depth. Can substitute coconut yogurt and almond milk for vegan version, and swap honey for maple syrup.
